Conflict in India

NOT LIVE · INDIA RECORD RUNS 1 JAN 2024 → 29 MAY 2026

This is a verified record, not a live feed. UCDP hand-codes every event from published sources, which takes weeks — the newest event here is from 2026-05-31. For what is happening right now, LEV’s Global Incidents layer carries the machine-coded newswire at about fifteen minutes’ delay.

Between 1 Jan 2024 and 29 May 2026, researchers at Uppsala University hand-coded 525 events of organised violence in India from published sources. Their best estimate is 1,341 people killed — and their own range runs 1,313–1,406, which is the honest width of what anyone actually knows.

Who was doing the killing

State-based371 events · 1,084 killed (UCDP range 1,068–1,138) — A government is one of the sides — a civil war or a war between states.
Non-state50 events · 77 killed (UCDP range 76–82) — Two armed groups fight each other and neither is a government — militias, cartels, communal violence.
One-sided104 events · 180 killed (UCDP range 169–186) — An armed group or government kills civilians who are not fighting back.
